God's Call

God does not call us to be successful. He has called us to be faithful.

- Blessed Teresa of Calcutta

Faith Lesson from St. Bernadette

St. Bernadette stumbled through life guided only by blind faith in things she did not understand - as we all must do from time to time.

Doing the Lord's Will

YES, LORD. HERE I AM. I COME TO DO YOUR WILL!!

Our Human Will

Because we desire to control the outcome - falsely believing that we can provide better for ourselves than Our Lord Can. How mistaken we are!!

Arch Bishop Fulton J. Sheen Quotes

Hearing nuns' confessions is like being stoned to death with popcorn.

I feel it is time that I also pay tribute to my four writers - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Jealousy is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius.

Life if like a cash register, in that every account, every thought, every deed, like every sale, is registered and recorded.

Pride is an admission of weakness; it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals.

The big print giveth, and the fine print taketh away.

The proud person counts their newspaper clippings, the humble person their blessings.

The Magi

The Magi set out because of a deep desire which prompted them to leave everything and begin a journey. It was as if they had always been waiting for that star.

- Pope Benedict XVI

What You Do Not Use

The bread which you do not use is the bread of the hungry; the clothes hanging in your wardrobe are the clothes of those that are naked; the shoes that you do not wear are the shoes of the ones who are barefoot; the money that you keep locked away is the money of the poor; the acts of charity that you do not perform are so many injustices that you commit.

- St. Basil
